The final 2016 episode of the Top Rope Nation podcast is here. This week, Ryan and Kyle of TopRopePress.com discuss the year as a whole in professional wrestling. As TopRopePress.com prepares to announce their year end awards, we thought it was the perfect time to discuss all of the categories and nominees here on the show. We debate: Male and Female Wrestler of the Year, MVP of the Year, Match of the Year, Event of the Year, Tag Team of the Year, Feud of the Year, and more. Plus, some discussion on this week's excellent edition of WWE SmackDown Live.
